In case you didn't know, buick in china is like bmw here. They really like the buicks. Guess the quality must be pretty good and they are a change from the cookie cutter cars found there.

It is the case. Buick is very popular in China. It is a car with great status in China and from what I understand this Chinese view of Buick goes back many decades.

One of our vehicles is a 2007 Buick sedan, bought new in 2007 and I have to say after living with it since then I've changed my mind about Buick's.

I got past the old man's car stereotype after a year or so and I find it to be an excellent automobile. Very quiet, comfortable, capable, reliable and not at all a big, wallowing land barge as many (including me before I bought it :B) seem to think it is.

I have found the quality to be excellent. I originally bought my Buick because I'm a little on the large size at 6'3" + and 245 lbs with bad hockey knees.

I need to drive with my right leg pretty well stretched out and at the time a Buick sedan was about the only car with enough leg room and a firm, supportive seat which would comfortably accommodate me.

If you told me that 10 years before I'd be driving a Buick sedan....I would of been surprised.

But I'm glad I made the choice.
